past find-me refuse
I refuse to let the past find me here.
eye gentleman dying
I am dying a thousand cruel and unusual deaths as fifty pairs of eyes take me in, size me up like something that should be hanging over a fireplace in a gentleman's den.
girl knives
No? Part girl, part wolf? Do they lick their butter knives?
each-day littles wonder
When the music is over, she keeps her head down till she finds her seat again, and I wonder how many times each day she dies a little.
certain get-away knows
How I'd love to get away from here and be someone else for a while in a place where no one knows or expects certain things from me.
anarchy world make-sense
In a world like this one, only the random makes sense.
real self trying
You’ve been assigned an identity since birth. Then you spend the rest of your life walking around in it to see if it really fits. You try on all these different selves and abandon just as many. But really it’s about dismantling all that false armor, getting down to what’s real. -Going Bovine

The dark does not weep for itself because there is no light. Rather, it accepts that it is the dark.
castles ninja just-saying
I'm just saying it's not all sand castles and ninjas.

Thou shalt not steal. I seem to recall that being one of God’s I’d rather you didn’t lest I have to smite you into ash commandments.
blessed love-you wine
The sun has blessed you," Sarita used to say. "Look how he has left his kisses on your face for all to see and be jealous." "The sun loves you more," I said, rubbing my hands over her dry arms, the color of an aged wine gourd, and she laughed. But this is not India and we are not prized for our freckles here. The sun is not allowed to show his love.
forever
Will you punish me forever?
lying dark soul
That's what living in their world is-a big lie. An illusion where everyone looks the other way and pretends that nothing unpleasant exists at all, no goblins of the dark, no ghosts of the soul.
hero power villain
Power changes everything till it is difficult to say who are the heroes and who the villains.
